Help: how to use the spinner wheel
Best Spinner Wheel is a free wheel spinner and random name picker, and it needs no account. Here is everything you need to get a result in under a minute.
The basics
- Open the home page wheel or any themed wheel.
- Type your entries in the box, one per line. You can also paste a whole list, such as a class roster.
- Tap SPIN. The wheel turns and lands on one entry. Every entry has the same chance. On lists of 5 or more, an entry that has won won't come up again until every entry has had its turn; number ranges and shorter lists can repeat at any time.
Handy tricks
- Pick several winners: tick “Remove the winner after each spin” and keep spinning.
- Spin numbers: open the Number range tab and set a start and end, for example 1 to 100.
- Make one option likelier: add it on more than one line.
- Reuse a list: your entries are not saved on our server, so keep a copy of long lists in a note or document.

Frequently asked questions
What is a spinner wheel?
A spinner wheel is a digital prize wheel: you type in names or options, spin it, and it lands on one at random. People use it to pick names, raffle winners, dares, dinner, or who has to do the dishes.
Is Best Spinner Wheel free?
Yes, completely free. There is no sign-up, no download and no limit on spins. It runs in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer.
Is the wheel really random?
Yes. The winner is picked with your browser’s secure random number generator, and every entry has exactly the same chance. Nobody, including us, can rig a spin. See how the wheel picks a winner.
How do I pick a random name?
Type or paste the names into the box, one per line, then tap SPIN. To pick several winners without repeats, tick “Remove the winner after each spin” and keep spinning.
Can I spin random numbers?
Yes. Open the Number range tab, set a start and end (for example 1 to 100), and spin. Handy for raffle tickets and bingo-style games.
Can I make one option more likely?
Yes. Add the same option on more than one line. Two lines of “Pizza” and one line of “Salad” gives pizza a 2 in 3 chance. Spiññer won’t tell anyone.
Are my names and lists saved or uploaded?
No. Your entries stay in your browser and are not sent to us or stored on a server, so they are gone when you close the page. To keep a wheel, tap “Share this wheel”: you get a link that opens it again for 14 days.
Can I use it for a giveaway or live stream?
Yes. Share your screen, paste the entrant names and spin live so everyone sees the result. Our fair giveaway guide has the step-by-step version.
Is there a free spinning wheel?
Yes, this one. Best Spinner Wheel is free with no sign-up, no download and no limit on spins. It works in any browser on phones, tablets and computers.
Is it safe to use a spin the wheel website?
Yes. There’s no account to make and nothing to install, and the names you type stay in your browser instead of being uploaded to us.
Is this a randomizer wheel?
Yes. It’s a free wheel randomizer for any list: names, teams, chores or a fantasy football draft order. Paste the list, spin, and tick “Remove the winner after each spin” to put everyone in a random order with no repeats.
Is this a free wheel generator?
Yes. Type or paste any list (names, prizes, chores, dares) and the custom wheel generator builds your spinner instantly, with colors and confetti. Tap “Share this wheel” to save it as a link or send it to friends. No sign-up.
What is the fairest way to pick a random winner from a list?
Put each entry on its own line, spin a wheel that uses a secure random number generator, and spin where everyone can see. This wheel uses crypto.getRandomValues, so every entry has exactly the same chance. For backup winners, remove each winner and spin again.
How do I make a spinner wheel and share it with friends?
Type your entries, then tap “Share this wheel” and copy the link. Friends open the same wheel on their own phones. Private links last 14 days. Our party wheel guide shows each step.
